VCP Monitor 2 Click

VCP Monitor 2 Click demo application is developed using the NECTO Studio, ensuring compatibility with mikroSDK's open-source libraries and tools. Designed for plug-and-play implementation and testing, the demo is fully compatible with all development, starter, and mikromedia boards featuring a mikroBUS™ socket.

Example Description

VCP Monitor 2 Click is a three-channel, high-side current and bus voltage monitor with alert indication function ensuring the intended application works within desired operating conditions.

Example Libraries

• MikroSDK.Board
• MikroSDK.Log
• Click.Vcpmonitor2

Example Key Functions

• vcpmonitor2_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

void vcpmonitor2_cfg_setup ( vcpmonitor2_cfg_t *cfg );

• vcpmonitor2_init Initialization function.

err_t vcpmonitor2_init ( vcpmonitor2_t *ctx, vcpmonitor2_cfg_t *cfg );

• vcpmonitor2_get_manifacture_id Get Manufacture ID.

uint16_t vcpmonitor2_get_manifacture_id ( vcpmonitor2_t *ctx );

• vcpmonitor2_get_die_id Get DIE ID.

uint16_t vcpmonitor2_get_die_id ( vcpmonitor2_t *ctx );

• vcpmonitor2_get_bus_voltage Get BUS voltage in mV.

float vcpmonitor2_get_bus_voltage ( vcpmonitor2_t *ctx, uint8_t channel );

Application Init

Initiaizes the driver, and checks the communication by reading the manufacture device ID. After that, performs the device default configuration.

void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;
    vcpmonitor2_cfg_t cfg;

    /** 
     * Logger initialization.
     * Default baud rate: 115200
     * Default log level: LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG
     * @note If USB_UART_RX and USB_UART_TX 
     * are defined as HAL_PIN_NC, you will 
     * need to define them manually for log to work. 
     * See @b LOG_MAP_USB_UART macro definition for detailed explanation.
     */
    LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
    log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
    log_info( &logger, "---- Application Init ----" );

    //  Click initialization.

    vcpmonitor2_cfg_setup( &cfg );
    VCPMONITOR2_MAP_MIKROBUS( cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    vcpmonitor2_init( &vcpmonitor2, &cfg );

    check_id = vcpmonitor2_get_manifacture_id( &vcpmonitor2 );
    if ( check_id == VCPMONITOR2_DEF_MANUFACTURE_ID )
    {
        log_printf( &logger, ">> Manufacture ID: 0x%.4X\r\n", check_id );
    }
    else
    {
        log_error( &logger, " WRONG ID READ! " );
        log_printf( &logger, "Please restart your system.\r\n" );
        for ( ; ; );
    }

    vcpmonitor2_default_cfg( &vcpmonitor2 );
}

Application Task

Displays the voltage, current, and power detected from channel 1 on the USB UART every 2 seconds. It also displays the status of alert indicators.

void application_task ( void )
{
    log_printf( &logger, ">> CHANNEL 1 <<\r\n" );
    display_channel_data( VCPMONITOR2_CHANNEL_1 );

    display_alert_status( );
    log_printf( &logger, "--------------------------\r\n" );
    
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
}

Application Output

This Click board can be interfaced and monitored in two ways:

• Application Output - Use the "Application Output" window in Debug mode for real-time data monitoring. Set it up properly by following this tutorial.
• UART Terminal - Monitor data via the UART Terminal using a USB to UART converter. For detailed instructions, check out this tutorial.

Additional Notes and Information

The complete application code and a ready-to-use project are available through the NECTO Studio Package Manager for direct installation in the NECTO Studio. The application code can also be found on the MIKROE GitHub account.
